I’m so excited! I’m scheduled for panniculectomy on 1/16. I’m 2 1/2 Years out from VSG. My insurance is covering it!!! Not a full tummy tuck, but still... this is huge for me.

    Wow, let us know how it goes? I hope to start my body tuck journey by the end of this year, and the tummy dewlap will be the first to go. So please provide any details you are comfortable sharing, how your recovery goes?

    I will be happy to keep you all updated. I must admit... I’m getting nervous as the day approaches.

    My insurance is Medicare... so for anyone out there that has been told they won’t cover it... they will. As long as it is medically necessary.

    The pics I’m about to post are fairly intense, although no private parts are showing, I am nude to show the before and after of my tummy.

    One day after surgery. Keep in mind there is a lot of swelling. I will post more pics as the healing progresses.

    I sure hope that it isn't as painful as it looks. Hope your recovery is quick and complication free.

    It is definitely as painful as it looks. But, looking ahead to the long game makes it easier to bear.
